SELF GAS SHIELDING FLUX AND METAL FILLED CORED WIRE FOR HARD FACING APPLICATIONS INVOLVING ABRASION AND IMPACT
FC-63
CLASSIFICATION
DIN 8555 MF10-60-GC
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A self-shielded flux cored wire which deposits chromium carbides in the weld matrix to have the hardness in the range 60~63 HRC. The deposit has very high hardness which giving resistance to extreme abrasion, high temperature stability and some corrosion resistance. It is not machinable or heat treatable but can be ground. The minerals dissociate during welding to provide a full protective self-shielding gas which eliminates the need for an external separate shielding gas
WELDING FEATURES OF THE ELECTRODE
Suitable for use on DC+ only, the strong forceful arc is readily controlable and the high silicon content of the alloy lowers the surface tension of the molten weld pool, thus allowing ease of weaving and thus minimal dilution. Weld beads are bright and smooth and free from porosity. The slag volume is minimal and metal recovery is about 90% with respect to weight of the consumable
APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS TO BE WELDED
Designed for overlay earth moving equipment, dredge pump parts, gyratory crusher cones and mantles. Other parts that are subject to severe wear. It is also suitable for hard surfacing of mild steel, low alloy steel, and manganese steel.
WELDING AMPERAGE AC and DC
OTHER DATA
Electrodes that have become damp should be re-dried at 120ºC for 1 hour.
